If I have a look at their website
that has three sections:The Envy Box: Each month subscriber will get a box of samples of
leading beauty products

that rewards you every time you shop, refer friends, and give feedback on your monthly

Now, let’s come to the actual box
that I got.

My
Envy Box comes in
a parcel with the box being boxed inside a card board box, to prevent any
damage while shipping. I received this December edition of the Elle Magazine as
well along with my box.

The box is a pale orange colored box
which is made out of cardboard. It is very sturdy that you can definitely use
it to store some of your products or you can even use it for gifting something
in it. It has magnetic chips that keep it shut properly.

Inside the box, there are cards that
carry information about the samples that they have included. The price of the
full sized product, how to use the product etc.

The products are wrapped inside a
big sheet of paper with “My Envy Box”
written all over giving it all together a luxurious feel and the box.

Right now, as they have not
customized the box, every box contains the same products.

These are the products I got in my
Envy Box:

Avene
rebalancing Soothing Emulsion

Full sized product price is 1200
rupees for 50 ml. The sample contains 5 ml that can be used for 2-3 times. It claims
to hydrate the skin and keep it soft and radiant. I will be using it and let’s
see how it fares for me.

Remy
Laure Eye Contour Cream

I have seen this brand on some
shopping sites but it isn’t very popular though. The full sized product is for
2355 INR for a 30 ml tube. Sample tube has 10 ml which is good to use for
around more than 10 times as when it comes to eye creams, a little goes a long
way!

It is a gel textured cream that is said
to decongest blood circulation that causes dark circles and puffiness.

Remy
Laure Eye Contour gel

Full size is for 2320 rupees for 30
ml. Sample size has got 10 ml and can be used for about 15 uses. It helps
reducing puffiness and dark circles.

Remy
Laure Eye Relaxing mask

Full size product is for rupees 2065
for 30 ml. sample size is for 10 ml. It’s an eye mask that should be kept for 3
minutes on the eyelids and then rinse off. It helps sooth and relaxes the eye
area. I will be definitely using it!

Rene
Furterer Naturia Gentle balancing shampoo

Full size product is for 1100 rupees
for 150 ml. I have not heard about this brand. It is quite new to me. The
sample contains 15 ml that could be used for 2 washes for me as per my hair
length. It is said to give glossy sheen to the hair with volume.

Roberto
Cavalli New woman fragrance

Full sized fragrance is for 50 ml
for 3575 and 75 ml for 4875 rupees.

Sample contains a tiny spray bottle
with 1.2 ml of the fragrance. It’s basically a floral fragrance with lot of
warmth in it. I have used exactly the same fragrance ages ago; so, don’t remember
the name but it was so similar, that I was literally teleported to that time. I
used it once and wish the staying power could have been better. Fragrance is a
personal affair and may not work for everyone.

Bonne Maman Strawberry Jam

This was a surprise as I really
liked the cute bottle and also wasn’t expecting such a thing in a beauty box.
But never mind, it tastes damn delicious, that’s what I am more focused at!

My thoughts about My Envy Box December Edition 2013

First of all, the orange box is a
treat as is very sturdy and can serve many purpose for you! It does give this
feel of having a luxury beauty sample box.

Price of the box is a bit high, if
the magazine is not there specially.

Coming to the products, out of the
six products, 4 products are from brands that I am not very familiar with, though
I will not deny that it’s always good to open up for new brands and explore
them.

I got three eye related products
which I wish could have been two like an eye gel and an eye mask or the cream
or the mask and I could have got something else instead of any one of the Remy Laure
eye cream or gel.

I liked the Perfume from Roberto Cavalla
as it suits my taste, but it may not appeal to everyone! Or I should say, it’s
hard to choose a fragrance for somebody else when you are not aware about their
liking.

My Envy Box December Edition 2013

Right now, there is no customization
of the products that will be there in the box as they have started out, but I
wish that it will be good if the subscribers are given a chance to choose their
samples for themselves. Let’s say, 3 sample products are chosen by the subscribers
as per their liking and 3 by the My Envy Box team so that the surprise factor
also remains. Moreover, if you are not happy with the samples, at least you
have the samples chosen by you to make you feel satisfied with the box. What
say?
